Step by Step

Departing from Bilbao, you will get to know the most important places of the Basque Coast during this 1-day excursion with a tour guide at your side. Specifically, the approximate duration of the activity is 7 hours. You will visit several places, so this experience already includes all the necessary journeys in an air-conditioned vehicle.

Before leaving Bilbao, you'll get a close-up look at the Suspension Bridge, which separates the industrial and modern areas of the city. In this way, you will learn about the furnaces and the iron and steel culture of Bilbao, without neglecting its most current development until today, explained by your guide during the visit.

Leaving the capital of Vizcaya behind, you will enter more rural areas of the province. First you will see San Juan de Gaztelugatxe, a hermitage on the top of an islet where scenes from important series such as Game of Thrones have been filmed.

During the excursion you will also visit Bermeo, where you will take a guided tour and see the Butrón Castle, declared a World Heritage Site.

Another of the most important towns in Biscay is Gernika, whose history was immortalised in a painting by Picasso. Although it is an inland town, you will learn about the bombing suffered by its inhabitants during the guided tour. On the way to this town, you will stop at the Mundaka viewpoint with views of the Urdaibai Biosphere.

    A very complete tour at a more than acceptable price. If you have the opportunity to take the tour do not hesitate, it is of great help to know in depth the city and visit the various points of general interest.

    It was a very pleasant experience, although the weather was not the most suitable for such a tour. I would like to repeat it in the future, I wanted to visit some places. Recommended.
